		Approaches to Evaluating Welfare Reform: Lessons from Five State Demonstrations: Executive Summary ^Votes:0 Approaches to Evaluating Welfare Reform: Lessons from Five State Demonstrations Executive Summary Authors: Anne Gordon, Jonathan Jacobson, and Thomas Fraker of Mathematica Policy Research, Inc., October, 1996. BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In recent years, most states have taken advantage of provisions in federal law that allowed them to obtain waivers from Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) and Food Stamp Program rules in order to implement welfare reform--between 1993 and 1996, the Clinton administration approved waivers for 43 states. The federal waiver process required rigorous evaluations of all welfare reform demonstrations and provided matching funds for the evaluations. Federal welfare reform legislation, passed in August 1996, replaces the AFDC program with block grants to Read More Go to Site


		Bates Student: News: Edelman, Concannon give perspectives on welfare reform ^Votes:0 - October 10, 1997 Edelman, Concannon give perspectives on welfare reform By CHRISTINE HOPKINS Staff Writer Former Clinton advisor Professor Peter Edelman and Director of Maine Human Services Kevin Concannon came together to discuss poverty, welfare, and the nation's attitude toward these topics Monday evening in Chase Lounge. The symposium concerning welfare reform, sponsored primarily by the Bates Democrats, drew a crowd of about 60 people. The debate, which was broadcast on Maine Public Radio, began with a speech by Professor Edelman, who resigned his post in Clinton's administration after the signing of the 1996 Welfare Reform Act. Edelman focused on the problems inherent in America's attitude about the poor. He expressed his disappointment with the press for burying the fact that the Read More Go to Site

		CURRENT RESEARCH FINDINGS REGARDING WELFARE REFORM AND RURAL POVERTY ^Votes:0 [ Back to Conferences & Events ] Rural Dimensions of Welfare Reform Conference , May 4-5, 2000 Congressional Research Briefing, June 21, 2000 [ Executive Summary ] [ Select Findings ] [ Slide Presentations and Resources ] [ Press Release ] [ Sponsors ] [ Policy Issues ] [ Papers Presented ] Although America's antipoverty efforts were rooted in concerns about conditions in rural areas, virtually all current policy debates center on the urban poor. Yet, poverty rates are higher in rural areas, unemployment is greater, and there is less earnings growth than in urban labor markets. Two recent conferences hosted by JCPR highlight the effects of welfare reform in rural areas. Although urban and rural areas have seen similar declines in cash assistance caseloads, rural residents face different hu Read More Go to Site

Danziger , editor University of Michigan "The nine papers in this volume ask the authors to 'use their analyses to predict what is likely to happen to welfare caseloads, to recipient well-being, and to state budgets and policies when the next recession arrives.' Given that the 'next recession' is now upon us, it is hard to imagine a more timely collection of essays." Southern Economic Journal "Serious students of welfare change will want to read this excellent study." Choice Magazine (The first chapter of this book is available in .pdf format.) Welfare reform is widely touted as the reason welfare caseloads have declined rapidly the last few years.

		FRAC - Post Welfare Reform Hunger Studies ^Votes:0 FOOD INSECURITY AND HUNGER IN THE WAKE OF WELFARE REFORM A number of recent studies 1 highlight continuing unacceptable levels of hunger and "food insecurity" 2 in the wake of welfare reform. Even as many families move off assistance and into the workforce, low wages and unstable employment leave many of them without adequate access to food. At the same time, emergency food providers report continued long lines and requests for food, particularly among working families and households with children. The following are key food insecurity/hunger findings from recent welfare reform and emergency food studies. While some of these data are from 1997 before federal welfare law was fully implemented, they reflect both the beginning of implementation and, in a number of states, fuller imp Read More Go to Site
